Play: Bull Flag
Stock gapped up, has high short interest and the dip got bought out of the gate with strength. It then started flagging with good volume pattern and making higher lows. When it traded in a very tight range and held, I got in for the break out and short squeeze. I went in with small amount of shares bc of how volatile it was and needed a large stop loss. I didn't scale out bc of small # of shares, wasn't worth it. I didn't get filled at first but remained patient to see if there would be a second push which it did and sold all in the spike. The problem i do have with this trade is it has a high short interest so even if i went in small shares, i should have scaled out as it can really run and squeeze.
